Wireless charging + the new iPhone: How do you feel about it?

[jphillips1963]

How do these wireless chargers get the power to the phone to charge? Do they have some sort of regenerated energy source built in to use power to charge or what?

It uses magnet or something like that to transfer the energy.
There’s a lot of videos on YouTube explaining how it works.

Ok but what powers the magnet? Does it have a built in power source of some sort?

I’m not sure, but a device that supports wireless charging has this round piece of metal or some sort inside of it that enables wireless charging.

I bought a Spigen wireless charge base off Amazon for $25 simply for my desk at work. It is more convenient for me to just place it on there since I usually place the phone on top of my desk anyway. But at home, I just plug in.

I tried the Mophie before iOS 11.2. However because I have a small metal disk on the back between the case and the phone for a magnetic holder in the car, wireless charging doesn't work at all. No surprise I guess.

I’m happy with the 7.5W wireless charging that is enabled in iOS 11.2

Are there any wireless chargers that get their power from a lightning connector? Thought one like that would be nice so you could put it on the wireless if you can let it slow charge, but if you need faster charging (or to use the phone while it is charging), just pull the cable out of the charger and plug it into your phone.
